From Plastic and Plush

The second half of Lubies Series 2 is made up of animals that you’d probably see at a nearby zoo or an African Safari. Monkeys, lions, giraffes, and hippos are all recognizable animals, so little kids will know what they are. And as with all of the Lubies plushies, these are super soft and made of various fabrics.

The Monkey will probably be the most popular Lubies Series 2 plush with youngsters. It has a cute little nose and tiny little tail.

Not only are they stylish, but they’re a great alternative to the pedestrian Fisher-Price toys that the boring daycare masses are playing with…how else is your kid going to grow up to be a fixed gear bike riding hipster if you don’t start them early?

Also, as seen on NOTCOT, the BRIO network for the older kids with BRIO train sets:

BRIO Network is not your classic toy train set. It’s an original world of Rail Play featuring the imaginary creatures who live inside your computer. They drive super-cool vehicles around wooden train tracks. They can listen to their messages and interact in fun, new ways. Though the networkers are inspired by the computer world, you do not need a computer to play with them.
